Tharagay Family Programme

Family members themselves often suffer extensively from the negative effects of living with someone else’s addiction.
The impact on the family system as a whole can be dramatic. Our experience has been that the recovery of the addict
improves significantly when family members are willing to engage with their own recovery process.
